This must not be missing here then: "I don't want to learn your garbage query language" [1] [1] https://erikbern.com/2018/08/30/i-dont-want-to-learn-your-garba

  Big fan of this post! We link to it from PRQL website. Our goal for PRQL is a great language to integrate with & build on. So we don't have N languages for N databases. Because PRQL will always be open-source, and won't ever have a commercial product, we think that's much more feasible than a DB-specific or product-specific language. (PRQL dev here)

    As evidenced from the poster's ORM rant, two languages for the same DB seem just as offensive to them as different languages for different DBs. I suspect you're still going to have an uphill battle converting them, unless they were hit with a blinding shaft of sunlight on the road to the SQL History Museum or something.
